CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. jsisewnere we print an editorial ar ticle taken from the News & Observer which we wish every man in the State, while and blick, could read and real ize. The statements made by the News & Observer are serious to contemplate. No one who has made any observa tion of the present State administra tion doubts for a moment what our contemporary says. Speaking of the board of directors for the Deal, Dumb and Blind Institute for the whites, the News & Observer says : "With possi bly one exception, each oTse of them has a string tied to his commission i.ne uovernor noius tneir signed resign nation, to be accepted whenever thev dare to go contrary to his orders." Such a state of affairs is eaoucrli to make every se!f-re?pecting man in North Carolina, segardless of party or color, rise in indignation and join hands in hurling irorn place and power any and nil who hold position of trust of any kind In sympathy with such adminis tration. What more do the good peyple of North Carolina need thai! what they have seen of the present disgraceful aJnimistration to spur them to every fjcssible effort to redeem our good old State trom the present shameful mis rule and hateful maladministration? It is too plain to need argument, from one end of the State to the other it is well known that North Carolina's former bright face would be greatly blurred in a photograph with any num ber of her sister states. TJie past four years have done the work. These blots and blurs cn our State must be rubbed away. Her face must again thine under the light of decent govern . inent. And this is the year in which to do the great work, and the Demo cratic party is the medium through which it is to be done. Let the best men be put before the people for their support men against whom there is no question. We sometimes say that a man's political record 13 clean and so we can afford to put him before the people. Now, for ouce, let us have put before the people men whose entire record is clean political and persona! and then we may have a strong lover which will uive us power. It is a matter for serious contempla tion that North Carolina stands as a laughing stock before the world. In competence ha3 been the mark stamp ed on every department of our present State government ; and what is as bad, if not worse, is the wilful wickedness and unblushing iniquity that have accompanied the incompetence. Saeh ought not to be ; such cannot longer be, if the good and noble free men of the State will only say as much and act accordingly. The Norfolk Landmark recently said some pleasant things about North Carolina soldiers in the present war with Spain. Our State contemporaries n ive shown appreciation of the pleas ant things said by the Landmark by referring to tbem frequently. The Landmark referring to the mat ter again Tuesday says : We are exceedingly ghid that though our words were so much weaker than strict justice demands, they have Droved agreeable td our friends across the line. There are no two States in t he "Union whose people are more ami cably disposed towards each other than Xorth Carolina and Virginia. You never he.ir a Virginian speak of the people of North Carolina in any other than the most cordial terms, ana we are sure that the same sentiment to wards Virginia is to be found among Xorth Carolinians. The absence of ieal ousy between the two commonwealths is a subject of frequent remark. There is extraordinary congeniality in the temperaments oi their inhabitants. It is this which makes us confident that the close bonds of sympathy and affection that now exist will last as long as the States themselves. Virgin ia, of course, wrould rather see her own sons win glory in the war than the scions of any other State ; but it is un questionable that her next choice is North Carolina, and the glorious deeds already to the hitter's credit can hard ly please her own people more than they please ours. Long live Carolina and ber valiant children !" STATE NEWS. MAGNANIMOUS COU CARR. Col. J. S. Carr, of Durham, has re cently spent ten days at Jacksonville, making observations as to how -North Carolina troops are faring, along with others. Col. Carr became convinced that the North Carolina soldiers need ed some money ; so he offered to ad vance for the Government pay for one month to the boys from his own State. This, it was said, would have taken $25,000. ' - vv hen col. Carr began to make the final arrangements to pay the soldier boys, be was met by objection, saying that it would make the other soldiers dissatisfied. So they were not allowed to receive their pay, notwithstanding th6 magnanimous offer Col. Carr had .made. But Col. Carr will ever hold a warm place in the hearts ol the North Caro lina troops now at Jacksonville. MEETING EX. COM. FOR THE 2ND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. A AiEGRO CONTROLS THE WHITE D. D. AND B. SCHOOL. News & Obfseryer. There were more reasons than one why Jim Young, cow a major, left his troops and came to Raleigh this Aveek. He controls the deaf, dumb and blind institutions at Raleigh as altsolutely as the Czar of Russia controls his private secretary. Not a move can be made 111 the white institution without his consent. He was here this week to press the screws ou his white associates. He has given them notice that unless they let him run things as he pleases, he will turn out the white lady teach ers in the white institution. There is no doubt of this. How -is it that Jim Young can kill and niake alive? It is because Gov ernor Russell gives him the power. His white associates on the board have no real conns issioiis as directors. With possibly one exception each one of them has a string tied to his commis sion. Tiie Governor holds their sign ed resignation, to be accepted whenever they dart- to gH; contrary to his ciders. As Jiin Young is the medium through which his orders are issued, they are all m the hollow of Jim Young's baud. If he chooses to squeeze them they are dead ghosts. And Jim will squeeze it they refuse to sneeze when he takes snuff. Here's a pretty howdy-do 1 The chief educational institution of the State, established for the instruc tion of the white unfortunate children of the State, controlled by a negro pol itician, and controlled for political ends. The people will not forget that Prof. Chas. F. Messerve, a life-long Republi can, reiune-a to serve on the Board be cause of the low plane of public morals upon which Jim Young and Dan Rus sell run it. Mr. B. F. Montague, long chairman of the Board, was forced off because it was no place for a respect able man who desired a decently man aged institution, and Mr. James A. liriggs, who had b;en on the executive committee for fifteen years, resigned for i he same reason. If the Goyernor has auy desire to have even a preteiise of whits ru!e of the white institutions he ought to accept the resignation of Jim Young and his '-dummies" and appoint decent white men to manage the white institutions To continue tho . present control is to insult the unfortunate children of the Slate who have no other place at which they can secure instruction. WAR HEWS. YANKEES MILKED THE COW. at The members of the Ex. Com. for the 2nd Congressional District are notified to meet in Wilson on June 20 at 8 :30 o'clock to fix time and place for holding a convention, and to trans-j act such other business as may come before the Committee.

It is a great leap from the old fash ioned doses ot blue-mass and nauseous physics to the pleasant lit tie pills known as DeWitt's Little Early Risers. They cure constipation, sick headache and j Irtlliousn&js. E. T. Whitehead & Co. Charity and Children, published Thomasville Orphanage, says : "lhe papers are telling the pranks the soldiers played on their way to the :;outh, but we have seen nothing ahead of the one bv some New York fellows in the good old town of Thomasville. A citizen fastened his cow near the water tank at the depot where the grass was green and tender, and as the train stopped for water a squad of soldiers jumped out, armed with tin cups, and, surroundine the cow, drained her dry in a couple of minutes. Some children went without milk for supper that night, but nobody begrudged it to the boys. The Summer School for teachers and the Summer Law School will open at Wake Forest June 21st. Those wish ing Information can get it from Prof. J. B. Cariyle of the - Summer School, and Prof. N. Y. Gulley for the Law School. This is-a delightful place to spend a month in summer and those who do so will doubtless be well pleased. The University Summer School for teachers will begin'ju'ne 21st and will last one month. The best of instruct ors have been engaged and it will be a delightful place and season for teach ers. Reduced rates will be .given on the railroads. An Enterprising Druggist.

Guaranteed to cure or re funded, -j - The Wilmington Star says : "Heavy shipments of truck continue to be made daily. Yesterday four or five car-loads were taken out by the At lantic Coast Line." The Washington Gazette says that "you can hardly pass up and down the street someumea ior unuy i-uuiagra, and congratulates the town on the new ordinance passed by the town commis sioners forbidding baby carriages to be rolled on the sidewalk only in single iiie. If they go two abreast they will be fined. A correspondent from Columbia, NT. C. to the News & Observer tells how a colored man met a respectable white woman in the road and spoke in decently to her. Soon some "Spanish soldiers" waited upon him and he soon learned that he was held to strict ac count for his conduct. He will hardly talk so again. An item sent out irom Aurora says "The Irish potato is now being rapid- lvshiDDed. the crop in this section beinz very large. The shipment from this place averages over one thousand barrels ner day. The crop, as to time of shinment and size, is at least ten days earlier than last year." It is now estimated that 25,000 to 80,000 barrels will be shinned irom this point. The crop prospects of all kinds are good." Tarboro Southerner : "Mr. J. E. Crute, Who succeeded Mr. Geo. B. Hughes, as proprietoi of the Central Warehouse is now in town, preparatory to opening the Central for the season. Mr. Crute is an experi enced warehouseman, and is thoroughly acquainted with the bright leaf trade of the Carolmas and Virginia and proposes to hustle for the farmers of this vicinity and secure the top prices always." A special from Greensboro to Sun day's Richmond Dispatch, said This morning the 2 year-old son of Mr. H. J. Elam, of the Evening Re cord, swallowed part of the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid. A physician was summoned at once, but the child could not swallow the antidote. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the - little boy was still alive, but the physician does not think it possible for him to live. Winston, N. C, June 10. George Vernon, a white man and a noted blockader, met with a sudden death last night by jumping from the rear of the passenger train on the Norfolk and Western road, six miles north of Martinsville, Va. The train was running twenty miles an hour. Vernon lived only a few min utes alter he was picked up. Two of ficers had him on (he train f returning from West Virginia, where he was arrested. News & Observer : Durham, N. C, June II. (Special.) A lata! cutting affray occurred here this afternocn about 7 :30 o'clock between Wiley Whitfield and Plal Crabtree. Knives were used with deadly effect; Whit field was cut In the lung and just under the heart and can't possibly I've, but a short time. Crabtree was cut in a numberof places and while his condi tion is serious, it is not necessarily fatal. The fight occurred in the rear of a bar-room on Mangum street known 35 "No. 9." Both men were drinking 1 heavily. They were taken to the Walts Kq?pitai lor treatment. The Raleigh Post, quoting from the Apex News, says : "A young mer chant not far from Apex is now buy ing hawks chicken hawks, pparrow hawks and blue bird hawks. The price paid is a 10 cent plug of tobacco. He alleges that as he deals iii chick ens every hawk he can have killed will secure to him at least a dozen chickens that he would not get if the hawks were let alone. Since offering the reward one of his neighbors has made it a daily practice to chew a plug oi tobacco and pay for it with a hawk. He devotes so much of his time fo hawk hunting that the people in the neighborhood think he has entirely given up his farm, and have nick nam ed him hawk." News and Observer : . Winston, N. C, June 10. (Special.) Rey. James Needham, of Surry county, who is perhaps the oldest minister hi the United States, celebrated his ninety ninth birthday a few days ago by preach ing a special sermon at his home. About one thousand people gathered to participate in the anniversary exer cises, which were held in the grove near the aged divine's residence. After the sermon, which was an earnest ef fort, dinner was spread on a long table and all of the guests were invited to participate. In the audience were about two hundred and fifty kiuspeople of Rev. Mr. Needhara, among them being Rev. Z. J. Needham, of California, who came back to attend the anniver say service. In his sermon Rev. Mr. Needham exhorted those present to be temperate in all things and Godly fear and unity in all spiritual undertakings. The Winston correspondent to the News and Observer tells of the troubles ot a Republican postmaster. He says : "Mr. W. C. Meadows, a merchant and Republican postmaster at Mora vian Falls, Wilkes county, is in trouble. tie owed a Northern firm and refused to pay. Finally they wrote to the post master, not knowing that Meadows held that office, and asked for the name of a lawyer. Meadows sent the name of his brolherjn-law. The firm wrote the lawyer, but Meadows got the letter and later wrote the firm that the law yer was no good. The - lawyer got a letter through the Wilkesboro post otfiice and an investigation was asked for to find out who had been forging the lawyer's name. Postoffice Inspect or uexter had Meadows arrested and tried this week at WilKesboro. He plead guilty to the charge and was placed uner a $200 bond for his ap- rearance at federal court. His wife is now acting as postmaster." How to Look Gooa. Good looks are - really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs.

During the last week although no great battle has been fought to forward or retard the success of American arms, yet there has been a gradual progress in our favor. In the Philippines, the insurgent leader Aguinaldo is fast closing: his lines around Manila, and cutting off the Spaniards from railway and tele graphic communication with the sur rounding country. Dewey's guns frown ing from the harbor cut off all hope of succor to the be&eiged city irom the sea. It seems to be only a matter ol time before Gen. Angusti, commander of the Spanish troops, will be forced to surrender. Cable dispatches say that, Saturday, a battle was being fought between the Spaniards and insurgents. Should the latter succeed the fall of Manila will probably be the result. In case the city should betaken Admiral Dewey has promised to prevent a mas sacre. No American troops have reached the Philippines yet. However, two expeditions have left, and a third is being prepared. Rear Admiral Sampson's bOmbard ih fortifications on the eastern coast of CuDa, last week, re sulted in the.capture ot Guantanamo, a small town about forty miles from Santiago. In the right which occurred on the landing ol the marines, the town was burned." Eight hundred men under the American flag are holding the place as a site for. the landing of regular troops. It is said that there are good roads leading from Guantanamo to Santiago, over which the American army would have little difficulty transperting its heavy seige guns and baggage. A force of Cuban insurgents, many of whom have been armed by the United States government, are camped around San tiago, ready to co-operate with our troops, when they arrive. The invasion ot Cuba which the United States have had in contempla tion for some time seems to be rapidly drawing near. The first detachment, consisting of 25,000 men, will be sent over in fif y transports. This might have been accomplished-last week but the government unwilling to send out such a-large fleet unguarded, ordered the expedition to be delayed until a sufficient escort could bo provided. The transports will Le convoyed by six teen war vessels headed by the Indiana With Cervera's feet closed up in Santiago, a good landing on Cuba assured by the capture of Guantanamo, and such a strong fleet to engage an Spanish war vessels that might wish to attack them, the American army is well nigh certain of being before San tiago in a very short time. As the war seems to progress toward a success for American arms, the desire for ffeace in Spain and infact all con tinental Europe seems to grow. Threatened at once with famine, bank ruptcy, and revolution for Spain peace js rendered almost imperative. It is stated that ah? has requested the Euro pean poke's? Id intervene. If they do not accede to her request, it is only a matter of time before she will be forced to sue. Her most candid friends deplore the commeneernCJ.of the war and see nothing before her but defeat. f June 13. At 3 o'clock, Saturday afternoon the Spaniards made an at tempt to regain the ground which they lost at Guantanamo last Friday. The fight lasted thirteen hours, ending Sunday morning, when reinforcements were landed from the Marblehead. The Spaniards were covered by a thicket close to the camp, while the position of the Americans, on open ground, was rendered all the more conspicuous by the white canvas of their tents. Early in the engagement the Marblehead launch, coming close to shore, materi ally aided our troops by her heavy guns, and powerful electric lights with which she could sweep tho neighboring woods and show parties of the enemy! The Spaniards retired about dawn. Four Americans were killed , anci one wounded. The dead are Assistant Surgeon Gibbs, Sergeant Charles Smith, and Privates McColgan and Dunpby. The attacking - force of Spaniards has been variously estimated from 200 to 1,000. Their loss is un known, as they carried off their killed and wounded ; but it is believed to have been considerably greater than that of the Americans. June 14. The invading army con sisting of -thirty two transports and 15, 000 officers and men sailed from Key West at day break Monday morning. It is expected to arrive at Cuba about Thursday. Admiral Sampson has cleared the way for them so that little difficulty iri effecting a landing is ap prehended. Most of the troops com posing the expedition are United States regulars. The only three vol unteer organizations abroad are the 71st New York Infantry Volunteers, the 2nd Massachusetts Infantry Volun teers, and fTwo dismounted squadrons of four troops each from the First United States volunteer calvary. " States marines are still holding their own. The Spaniards nave mauo m attempts to dislodge them by night attacks, but have failed each time. In the second attack the insurgents co operated with the Americans. This is the first Instance in which they have fought with us. To ensure the success of our troops in holding their position reinforce ments have been landed from tne Marblehead and Texas. S. H. S. Arrangements are being made ior the second expedition of invasion to the West Indies which will goto Porto Rico. Instead of embarking at Tampa, as the first expedition did, this will probably sail from the east coast of Florida. It is said that General Lee will command. Latest. June 15.
